...So, I have promised Katrina I will not remind her of this imminent countdown out loud. she says that will annoy her. (btw---it is 359 days! -- I hope that is not as "annoying " in print...)
It got me thinking as to why I become so date & time oriented on these kind of events when to know me, is to know I am a incredible procrastinator. Yet, I have this fascination with planning ahead. I become very detail-oriented when I first can see the big picture.
Today... on a quiet summer morning here , I can't help but be reflective... I am working on a project for my in-laws 50th Anniversary. This has led me to plowing through years of boxes of disheveled photos, seemingly afterthoughts of the past. Yet, I look at each within the moment it was taken and marvel how significant it was then and now. I begin to ponder what projects could be taken on with these photos for graduation and the glimmer of excitement for that creative process begins..
I will put aside the picture of three year old Katrina entering Friends School for the first time, in awe of how that choice, as well as many others since, were the forks in the road we were glad we took.
Now, comes the time to be in awe of my daughter. Her awesome ability to know her learning style and keen awareness of how to advocate for herself will be the driving forces this year. I am simply along for the ride!! (OH, that is if I she can arise before NOON this summer! HA!)
